Don't let people fool you, it's an awesome game
If you are remotely interested in video games, you probably have heard a lot about this game, and if you did, you probably heard a lot of people complaining. I am not one of those people. I really enjoyed Mass Effect. For me, this series is probably one of the best game series I have ever played. But what about the game itself ? Well... It is not as good as the previous installments. The fact that every single subplot gets resolved and that there is a romance available with every single character in the game makes the story feel very "mechanical" and it looks more like the developers are trying to please everyone rather than tell the story they want to tell. Plus the way the game was advertised as a good entry point in the series and the redesign of some characters really shows why fans of the game felt betrayed in some ways. And while I agree that Mass Effect 3 is not the awesome climactic best episode of the saga (and that is a bummer), it is still the pretty solid character-focused and engaging futuristic RPG it always was. Don't let people fool you : Mass Effect 3 is great game and you should really play it. Also, the extended ending is pretty effin' good !
